Black and White Wednesday

Sis and I drove to the ancient, still working fishing village of Stonington, Maine last week. It's about a 40 minute ride from the Cape and made a great spot for a lunch outing.

This little village on the point of Deer Isle, is a photographer's paradise. Every time I blinked, there was something else to "shoot": gardens, fishing shacks, piled up lobster traps, houses built on bedrock.

Enroute, we stopped at Caterpiller Hill Lookout to enjoy the view and pick a handful of blueberries. Being a seasonal resident here in Down East Maine lets me see the same old things in new ways every time I come back. I have probably shot this harbour more times that I can count, but there is always something new to see.

As I post today's B&W photo, I am not entirely happy with the poor depth-of-field. Thinking back on it, I realize I should have changed the settings and gone for a higher f stop. Ah well, next time.
